Key elements and design rationale
- Target: S100A14 — AP-2 complex subunit mu (ELAV like RNA binding protein 2). Alternative names: ELAV-like protein 2; ELAV-like neuronal protein 1; Hu-antigen B; HuB; Nervous system-specific RNA-binding protein Hel-N1; ELAVL2; HUB
- Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
- Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human
- Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
- Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human S100A14, which shares 93.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse S100A14.
- Molecular weight context: observed 18 kDa, calculated 49655 MW (reported)
- Provided application(s): WB, IHC, Flow, ELISA
These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.
Biological background
Function: Binds RNA. Seems to recognize a GAAA motif. Can bind to its own 3'-UTR, the FOS 3'-UTR and the ID 3'-UTR.
Cellular localization: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue details: Brain; neural-specific.
Background: S100 calcium binding protein A14 (S100A14) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the S100A14 gene. This gene encodes a member of the S100 protein family which contains an EF-hand motif and binds calcium. The gene is located in a cluster of S100 genes on chromosome 1. Levels of the encoded protein have been found to be lower in cancerous tissue and associated with metastasis suggesting a tumor suppressor function.
Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.
Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
- Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.
For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
